Zero Period Attendance Expectations

Punctual and faithful attendance to zero period is particularly important for several reasons:

there are a limited number of these classes

zero period is outside the regular school day

In order to maximize instructional time, we have established attendance and punctuality criteria only for zero period absences and tardies.

Attendance: Students are expected to attend zero period class every day except Wednesday. Students will be withdrawn from a zero period class after the ninth zero period absence*. They may reschedule the class later in the day if it is offered. Once a student has been dropped from a zero period class for poor attendance or tardiness, he or she will not be eligible to take a zero period class the following semester. There are no excused absences for zero period (neither for illness nor sports conflicts).

Punctuality: Students are expected to be on time to zero period. The school tardy policy will be followed for zero period.

Any combination of absences/tardies in zero period that equal 9 will be grounds for REMOVAL of a student from zero period.

All day and zero period only absences will count towards the students total.
